Lady DUI To Say IDO

We wrote about her when Java first noticed the giant-sized highway billboards emblazoned with her law pedigree and her friendly face, offering help if to those arrested for allegedly driving while impaired.

But in a couple weeks, LADY DUI, also known as Teresa DiNardi, a defense lawyer with the Ruane law firm, will be out of the courtroom and in front of a family and friends as she says "I Do."

Di Nardi and her partner, Kathy Denisiewicz will be getting married at Grants in West Hartford on June 13.

The afternoon nuptials aren't the only partnership the two will share. They own the Spicy Green Bean eatery in Glastonbury as well.

Di Nardi, whose dad is a former Newington cop and whose mom is a riot, takes her punches as a lawyer who puts herself out there as a helper to drunken drivers. But she believes everyone is entitled to a defense and has been the subject of a volume of feature stories including one in the New York Times.
